KFC Created a Quirky Limited-Edition Faux Fur Rug for Valentine's Day

Chicken-scented bath salts, edible nail polish, gravy-inspired candles and anti-technology pods are just a handful of the quirky products that have been released by KFC over the years—and for Valentine's Day this year, the fried chicken chain is adding to this unconventional assortment with a faux fur rug that looks like Colonel Sanders.

To engage fans who want to win date nights for a year, KFC launched a Reddit creativity competition that offers multiple ways to enter, as well as multiple ways to win through drawing, storytelling and showing off one's skills on Photoshop. The ultimate date night package includes not just the novelty faux bearskin rug, but also a pair of fried chicken pajama onesies, a KFC gift card for two and a yearly subscription to an online streaming service.
